    Which Amsoil synthetic oil should I use for my 2007 Tacoma 200,000 miles? I've began hearing truck backfire at 190k when starting truck. I think it's beginning to burn oil, not sure I'm keeping watch. I commute and road trip a lot racking up the miles.

    History:
    Location is central California temperatures.
    I'm second owner at 50k mi.
    Oil changed every 3k miles the last 4yrs with Mobil1 0w-20.
    Switched to Amsoil synthetic at 150k mi using 0w-20. Changing oil at every 10,000 miles.
    A couples times Toyota regular oil was used then back to Amsoil. I just didn't have time to change my oil.


    Thank you

    Hi
    I was told thats what I should use when I first did my oil change. I started with mobile 1. Then switched to amsoil.
    Since then my truck started backfiring a little. I've been thinking I should be using something else. I'm in CA and truck just hit 212k mi.
